AC Ajaccio v Marseille: Preview
Marseille will head to Ajaccio boosted by the availability of Andre Ayew after the forward's foot injury turned out not to be as serious as first feared.
The Ghanaian was forced off during the second half of the Coupe de la Ligue defeat to Paris St Germain on Wednesday night, and it was feared he had broken a metatarsal.
But Marseille confirmed he had suffered no worse than ``cuts and a knock'' to his foot and he is set to feature when Elie Baup's side, who will have Johan Cavalli and Eduardo suspended, travel to Corsica.
OM head into the match third in the table, but have lost their last three games in all competitions.
However, striker Loic Remy, who has yet to find the net in the league this term, believes they can bounce back tomorrow and he can end his goal drought.
He said: ``My first job is to serve the needs of the team and I know that in some games there is no choice, you must help your team-mates defend.
``It is not ideal as an attacker but on Sunday in Corsica we have the chance to bring an end to this run.''
Ajaccio coach Alex Dupont has also received a boost with Benjamin Andre overcoming a dead leg to be involved.
The midfielder and Adrian Mutu will feature this weekend but are suspended for the upcoming meeting with Toulouse.

1212 Grandview Ave, Pittsburgh, PA | Directions 1521140.438123 -80.018552
Neighborhoods: Duquesne Heights
It Rocked! – A colleague and I wanted to go someplace nice after a rough day. We made the right choice. The service and food were impeccable. The Martini's were enormous! The view was breathtaking.
I asked the server for suggestions and chose the Parmesan encrusted cod - great choice.
Plan to return soon.
Bait and Switch – My party of 6 left after only one round of drinks because you had to tear the bartenders and the wait staff away from socializing with their friends sitting at the bar . They obviuosly didn't mind that they serve Vodka tonics with flat tonic and no lime. We didn't bother ordering food at that point. We took the Incline back down to the Grand Concourse.
Overpriced bad food – I'm not sure what restaurant the other reviewers ate at, but EVERY time I've been to this place I hope it's going to be better but it's just not. The food is bad, the restaurant is filthy and kind of icky at times, and you will pay out of the nose. Have a drink and enjoy the view, but do yourself a favor and dine elsewhere.
Great all around evening – The outdoor decks made this such a great experience. There is no better way to enjoy the nice weather and great view of Pittsburgh. The food was greta. I got the espresso rubbed filet and think it is the most mouth watering, delicious dinner I have ever had. It is my new favorite dish. Kudos to the chef :). The server was nice and attentive but not over powering. I hate that. It was a greta evening. I encourage people to go and sit outside (bring a light jacket though).
Good experience – Loved the food! Loved our waitress! Loved the view! Only complaint was we had a bit of a wait when we arrived and there is no lobby to sit down in. Hostess arranged a round of drinks on the house though to get us through the wait. Overall, one of our favorite places and recommend to friends and family to go and get a steak. The steaks are the best!
Setting the record straight! – I was enjoying a very pleasant evening at The Coal Hill Steakhouse until it was disturbed abruptly by a table next to us. I could not help but to over hear another table in the dining room discussing their displeasure with their steak. The server was called over and I saw her take the steak away. During what I assumed to be the process of the kitchen preparing another steak for this disturbed person, I overheard the unpleasant (to say the least) disposition of these people. They were out for a free meal and it was obvious. The nerve of some people! It is embarrassing and extremely annoying that individuals who are obviously miserable to begin with even go out to eat with the sole purpose of disturbing and taking advantage of nice establishments. When the new steak was returned (very promptly I may add) this lady had the nerve to eat the entire thing and further complain that it was overcooked. I personally witnessed an entire waitstaff and management team be distracted from all others in order to please this woman and she was not having it, so she proceeded to the kitchen to distract the cooks as well. Seriously lady, STAY HOME! That was our first time at this restaurant and we went on the wonderful reviews and recommendations from good friends. Our service was relaxed and detail oriented. Our steaks were beyond amazing and the view was equally impressive. Only complaint is that this belligerent woman's tirade was tolerated to long. I would not ever own a restaurant for the fear of being forced to interact with people like this. Please do yourselves a favor and go try this place out and while you are there apologize for people like this! I hate writing these reviews online. I believe that 99% of them are biased in some shape or form, but I couldn't help but to over hear the intention to post a review about there "experience" online. Keep up the good work Coal Hill see you again soon!
Who taught Peter Clark how to prepare a steak? – My family and I ate at the Coal Hill Steakhouse for the first time last night and had a terrible experience. I ordered the 8oz Filet, medium rare (every place I have ordered "medium-rare," the steak is mostly pink and juicy). My steak came out mostly brown. I was nice about it and just asked for a much more rare steak. It came back again, even more well-done. Who taught this chef, Peter Clark, to prepare a steak? So, we asked to talk to management to let them know that we were never informed that medium rare at this restaurant is more like medium-well to well-done. Peter is the manager as well, and he told our server, "If they want to talk to me, tell them to come down and talk through the kitchen window." Great management skills Peter! I went down and calmly explained that both steaks were incorrectly prepared. He did not even look at me..looked down at the floor the entire time...and kept repeating, "That steak was medium rare! The menu explains it. You should have known." First of all, the way a steak is prepared does not fluctuate that much from restaurant to restaurant. And what a COWARD?! You are the manager of an expensive restaurant, LOOK at your customers! To top it off, the menu does not explain that he cooks medium rare steaks more like well done. Peter INSISTED that he was correct right to the customers face! When I showed him that it was not on the menu, he simply said, "It used to be." How would that help me, my first time there?! I would assume the manager would know this! All in all, TERRIBLE EXPERIENCE! Food is not that great for what you pay. Miserable servers. The head cook and manager all-in-one, Peter Clark, does NOT know how to prepare a steak...and he needs to learn management skills before anyone puts him in charge of their restaurant. Moral of the story...At Coal Hill Steakhouse, the customer is NEVER right and you eat what you get...a well-done, burnt steak!
All Around Nice Evening – I don't usually do this but we had such nice evening here. Everything from the moment we walked in was pleasant. They really seem to value customer service. The Chef came out and talked to our table and shared some stories. Our sevrer was unintrusive but good. The dinner was suberb... I reccommend the esprsesso rubbed filet with vidalia onions and mashed potatoes. I get the same thing everytime and it never disappoints me.
Best steak ever!! – I recently had dinner here with family friends and I have to say everything was so good! We were greeted quickly and with a smile which is so refreshing these days. The menu is wonderful....it took me forever to pick out what I wanted because everything sounded so good. I ended up going with the filet and crab cakes which I might add were cooked perfectly (another pet peeve of mine). The steak sauce was the perfect touch. I told the chef when he visited our table (something he does a lot of from what I heard) that he should bottle it. It is so delicious!!! The prices were normal for a steakhouse, especially one on Mt. Washington. Our server was great...my water glass never went empty (the best sign of a great server to me). Overall I strongly recommend going there and taking friends :).
We loved it! – Best crabcake in the burgh! We enjoyed the lobster bisque also. The portions are huge and the prices are fair. The view of the city is best seen at night. I would definitely suggest going up at night time. My husband really appreciated the New York Srip with the sauce they serve it with. I would suggest this to any body but escpecially anyone trying to impress out of town guests. The service was good but parking can be a small issue. Worth checking out!

In July 2007, Pennsylvania decided to be generous and provide a $75 million tax incentive to filmmakers and TV producers to draw attention to our lovely state and create new jobs. It worked. The entertainment industry has come running to take advantage of the program that gives back up to 25 percent in tax credits if production companies spend at least 60 percent of their budget here.
While this is all good, you may ask why a stay-at-home-mom cares that legislators are considering revoking the law that placed Pennsylvania in the top five movie-making states. Is it pure pride in my Keystone state that loves seeing it in the spotlight? No, unfortunately, my motives are a little more self-motivated.
In January 2009, on the messiest snow day of this year, my kids started wondering where I was around 6 PM. I had been gone since 5 AM.
I get a call "Mom, Daddy is making us wash the dishes."
I got the giggly satisfaction of replying in hushed tones, "I am still on the set. I know you don't know who Gerard Butler or Jamie Foxx are but I just got to talk to them. Imagine if you got to meet the Jonas Brothers. Okay, so you can relate. I know I've been here all day but it shouldn't be much longer, I promise. Love you. Listen to your Dad. Goodnight."
I don't pretend to think that I will ever have a "real" acting career. But, for a day, I got to be an extra because the opportunities are here, because someone in Harrisburg is handing out incentives, because production companies are willing to take risks on hiring locals that want to step out of normal life and into acting real in fake surroundings just for day.
I loved working on Law Abiding Citizen, which from what I understand actually used few women and will be wrapping filming in the next week. It was fun to see the passionately creative crew and actors doing what they do best. I am just the walking wallpaper. I was probably not even supposed to talk to the big stars but that didn't stop me. They were so cool. Gerard told me how he liked the snow and how he really believed in this movie that he was producing. (I just HAPPENED to be in the right place in the hallway when he took a break.) Jamie entertained us all with his singing in the hallway and asked a group of us what we thought of marriage. Yes, I did admit to being married for 15 years, loving it and willing to stay that way for the rest of my life. My husband would be proud.
These are the stories I can tell my children because I got a chance to be a part of something fun and different. I didn't mind that I had to drive through ice and snow to get there and stay for 13 hours or make last minute arrangements for my kids who just happened to have a snow day. Maybe my kids will be inspired to do something fun someday too and step into the surreal entertainment world that is very real to many people working late hours behind the scenes for many more days.
It is also very real to the legislators trying to figure out how to get us out of debt.
I respect that but please don't take away the incentives for production companies to come here. I am not ready to be done. I just want one more day or two. . . or more. And, it is not just about the money, even if it did qualify for one of my more exotic odd jobs of the year, being a spectator in a courtroom and getting paid for it. It helped me pay my taxes. That must mean something to the state's esteemed decision makers.

You go, movie star girl!Gerard Butler is a mighty handsome man..... especially with that accent.
He's quite the specimen... lol. Any make-out scenes Sarah? Hey, it's all for ART! ;)
Anjte - Yeah, you know. I wish. He is amazing and I told him so! Woohoo!
I liked him in 300, but seeing him in all these romantic comedies lately - doesn't seem right to me. He doesn't seem the romantic lead guy. I want to see him as the cool hand luke type character.
I agree! - but you will be getting that Gerard back in Law Abiding Citizen! It is powerful.

Working with the Justice Sector Coordination Office (JSCO), a team from Harvard has been helping managers in justice sector agencies develop indicators that communicate progress toward strategic goals, learn more about problems in the justice system, and improve the performance of individual institutions. Since January 2011, in response to a request from the Attorney General, we have been working with officials in the judiciary, police, and prosecution service to develop an indicator of improvements in the justice sector's response to violence against women and girls. Field research in March suggests that there was an increase in the proportion of investigations of sexual assault that were forwarded to the prosecution stage in 2010. Further work this summer should yield a prototype indicator, which the JSCO might propose to a leadership group that supervises the performance of the justice system as a whole.
The collaboration with the JSCO began with an effort to strengthen measures for the government's goal of building "safer communities," principally by connecting the results of public perception surveys to data from the Police Service about the numbers of recorded crimes. We then tried to measure the length of stay for prisoners on remand, using a combination of prison and court data. The information systems on which these data depend are currently being revised, in response to a government inquiry into a prison escape. Improvements to these systems might establish a foundation on which prison officials and the justice sector could measure the duration of pretrial detention.

DRESSING UP MISS AMERICA: The Miss America pageant is looking to dress girls in more than tiaras and sashes. The 90-year-old organization is readying to launch, for next spring, a children's line of clothing produced under license by Miss America Brands, the Lewis Center, Ohio-based subsidiary of Air Waves Inc. Set to be unveiled today at the International Licensing Expo in Las Vegas, the deal will cover French terry hoodies, purses, rugby-striped polo dresses, bathrobes, ballet slippers and other styles retailing for less than $25 in sizes 4 to 7. The palette ranges from girl-approved hot pink and purple to patriotic hues of red, white and blue. Currently in discussions with retailers, Miss America Brands said it might expand into the tween and teen market afterward. But the utmost goal is to make girls look and feel good about themselves, said Miss America 2009 Katie Stam, one of the spokesmodels for the new line, with slogans such as "Dream Big." "It's not only providing a wardrobe to little girls," Stam said. "It's providing inspiration as well."

Hello everyone!
I was just wondering: can I uncheck all drivers (I would still get kernels etc) during the install and install them manually after the install? Will it still work if I don't install any drivers? I would like to do this because none of the drivers that come with the install seem to work quite right with my pc, but I believe they are in the Kext database on osx86.net

- We advise you to exercise a high degree of caution in Cameroon overall because of the risk of terrorist attack, political uncertainty and high levels of serious crime.
- Pay close attention to your personal security at all times and monitor the media for information about possible new safety or security risks.
- You should avoid demonstrations and large public gatherings throughout Cameroon as they may become violent.
- We strongly advise you not to travel to the Far North Region and borders with Central African Republic and Chad because of the risk of terrorist attack, kidnapping, armed banditry and cross-border skirmishes. On 5 April 2014 a Canadian and two Italian nationals were kidnapped from their residence in Tchere, in the Far North Region. Further such kidnappings could occur.
- We strongly advise you not to travel to the border region with Nigeria's Adamawa state. In May 2013 Nigeria declared a state of emergency in the states of Adamawa, Borno and Yobe and stepped up military operations against extremists. (Borno and Adamawa states border Cameroon's Far North, North and Adamaoua provinces). The security situation in Cameroon could decline should extremists displaced from Nigeria seek refuge across the border in Cameroon.
- We strongly advise you not to travel to the border area with Nigeria in the region of the Bakassi Peninsula because of the risk of localised fighting erupting without warning.
- Australia does not have an Embassy or Consulate in Cameroon. The Canadian High Commission located in Yaounde, provides consular assistance to Australians in Cameroon including the issuance of Provisional Travel Documents. The Australian High Commission in Nigeria can also assist Australians in Cameroon.
- Be a smart traveller. Before heading overseas:
- organise comprehensive travel insurance and check what circumstances and activities are not covered by your policy
- register your travel and contact details, so we can contact you in an emergency
- subscribe to this travel advice to receive free email updates each time it's reissued.
Entry and exit
Visa and other entry and exit conditions (such as currency, customs and quarantine regulations) change regularly. Contact the nearest Embassy or Consulate of Cameroon for the most up to date information.
A valid Yellow Fever Vaccination Certificate is required for entry into Cameroon.
Cameroon is listed by the World Health Organization (WHO) as endemic for yellow fever. Yellow fever is a serious and potentially fatal disease preventable by vaccination. We strongly recommend that all travellers be vaccinated for yellow fever before travelling to Cameroon (see Health section).
As the quarantine requirements for yellow fever vaccination differ between countries, we recommend that you check the yellow fever entry requirements for all countries you intend to enter or transit by contacting their foreign missions in Australia. Some airlines may require passengers to present a valid yellow fever vaccination certificate before being allowed to board flights out of the country. For more information about yellow fever, including Australian re-entry requirements, see the Department of Health website.
Make sure your passport has at least six months' validity from your planned date of return to Australia. You should carry copies of a recent passport photo with you in case you need a replacement passport while overseas.
Safety and security
The ongoing instability in northern Nigeria has increased the potential for attacks by militants on Western interests in Cameroon. Attacks could take place at any time at locations frequented by Westerners, including tourist, commercial and transport facilities.
Far North Region: We strongly advise Australians not to travel to the Far North Region of Cameroon, including Lake Chad, due to the risk of terrorist attack, kidnapping and armed banditry. On 5 April 2014 a Canadian and two Italian nationals were kidnapped from their residence in Tchere, in the Far North Region. Further such kidnappings could occur.
The Australian Government's longstanding policy is that it does not make payments or concessions to kidnappers. The Australian Government considers that paying a ransom increases the risk of further kidnappings, including of other Australians. If you do decide to travel to an area where there is a particular threat of kidnapping, you should ensure you have personal security measures in place, seek professional security advice and take out kidnapping insurance. For more information about kidnapping, see our Kidnapping Threat travel bulletin.
Border area with Nigeria's Adamawa state: We strongly advise you not to travel to the border region with Nigeria's Adamawa state. In May 2013 Nigeria declared a state of emergency in the states of Adamawa, Borno and Yobe and stepped up military operations against extremists. (Borno and Adamawa states border Cameroon's Far North, North and Adamaoua provinces.) The security situation in neighbouring Cameroon could decline should extremists displaced from Nigeria seek refuge across the border in Cameroon.
Terrorism is a threat throughout the world. You can find more information about this threat in our General advice to Australian travellers.
Civil unrest/political tension
We advise you to exercise a high degree of caution due to political uncertainty. You should avoid demonstrations and large public gatherings throughout Cameroon as they may become violent.
Eastern border areas with Central African Republic and Chad: We strongly advise you not to travel to the border area with the Central African Republic and Chad in eastern Cameroon. Armed banditry, kidnapping and carjacking are prevalent in these regions. Cross-border skirmishes have also occurred.
Bakassi Peninsula: We strongly advise you not to travel to the border area between Cameroon and Nigeria in the region of the Bakassi Peninsula. Sovereignty of the area had been disputed for many years and was handed from Nigeria to Cameroon on 14 August 2008. Tension in the area remains high and resettlement of the residents of the region is being negotiated. Tensions also remain high between the police and security personnel of both countries and you risk being caught up in localised fighting that may erupt without warning.
We advise you to exercise a high degree of caution in Cameroon because of high levels of serious crime. Pay close attention to your personal security at all times and monitor the media for information about possible new safety or security risks.
Criminal activity is a serious problem throughout Cameroon. Violent crime is common in residential centres and on rural highways. Armed highwaymen operate throughout the country. Armed banditry is common in the border areas with the Central African Republic. Carjackings, muggings, robberies and petty theft occur in the capital city, Yaounde, and in the regional cities of Douala, Kribi and Maroua. In Yaounde, the suburbs of la Briquetterie, Mokolo and Mvog-Ada are particularly dangerous. There have been several incidents of robbery and rape committed against foreigners in Douala. Avoid travel after dark.
The US Embassy in Yaounde prohibits its personnel from using taxis in Cameroon due to the high levels of crime associated with public transport.
There have been a number of attacks by gangs of armed gunmen on restaurants and hotels known to be used by foreigners.
Petty theft is a common occurrence on trains, coaches and bush taxis.
Due to the high prevalence of HIV/AIDS, victims of violent crime, especially rape, are strongly encouraged to seek immediate medical assistance.
Incidents of piracy have occurred in the coastal areas of Cameroon. In February 2011, two people died in a pirate attack. For more information about piracy, see our Piracy Bulletin. The International Maritime Bureau issues piracy reports on its website.
Commercial and internet fraud is prevalent and often originates in West African countries. Victims have been defrauded and those who travel to the originating country have had their lives endangered. Some victims have been killed. Criminals have been known to seek details of 'safe' bank accounts overseas in which to transfer large sums of money (as a donation or for a percentage of the amount involved). They may also provide fake cashier cheques for 'urgent' shipments of large quantities of goods, request sizeable fees for a fake government contract or extort money from individuals they have convinced to travel to Africa for a business opportunity. If you are a victim of a financial scam, we advise you to obtain legal advice and not to travel to Africa to seek restitution as there is a risk of serious physical assault from the perpetrators. Our international scams page provides more detail on these types of scams.
Bogus internet friendship, dating and marriage schemes are operating from some African countries. These scams typically result from connections made through internet dating schemes or chat rooms. Once a virtual friendship develops, the Australian citizen may be asked by their friend or prospective marriage partner to send money to enable travel to Australia. In some cases the relationship is terminated with very little chance that any funds can be recovered. In other cases, foreigners may be lured to Africa to meet their friend or prospective marriage partner and can become victims of crime including kidnapping, assault and robbery.
Money and valuables
Before you go, organise a variety of ways to access your money overseas, such as credit cards, travellers' cheques, cash, debit cards or cash cards. ATMs that accept international cards are limited in Cameroon and you should check the location of any such ATMs with your bank before you travel. Travellers' cheques and credit cards are accepted at major hotels in Yaounde. Travellers' cheques will only be cashed if accompanied by the original purchase receipt.
Counterfeit currency has been discovered in circulation.
Make two photocopies of valuables such as your passport, tickets, visas and travellers' cheques. Keep one copy with you in a separate place to the original and leave another copy with someone at home.
While travelling, don't carry too much cash and remember that expensive watches, jewellery and cameras may be tempting targets for thieves.
As a sensible precaution against luggage tampering, including theft, lock your luggage. Information on luggage safety is available from Australia's Civil Aviation Safety Authority.
Your passport is a valuable document that is attractive to criminals who may try to use your identity to commit crimes. It should always be kept in a safe place. You are required by Australian law to report a lost or stolen passport. If your passport is lost or stolen overseas, report it online or contact the nearest Australian Embassy, High Commission or Consulate as soon as possible.
You are required to pay an additional fee to have a lost or stolen passport replaced. In some cases, the Government may also restrict the length of validity or type of replacement passports.
Local travel
Police checkpoints are common in Cameroon and the police may request payments from drivers and other occupants of the vehicle. If you can't produce identification (residence permit or certified copy of your passport) you may be detained by the police.
Taxis in cities operate like buses, picking up passengers while there is still room in the vehicle. They often take indirect routes and many don't meet basic safety requirements. There have been reports of violent assaults and robberies on taxi passengers. Only use trusted taxis and preferably book one from your hotel or restaurant. The US Embassy in Yaounde prohibits its personnel from using taxis in Cameroon due to the high levels of crime associated with public transport.
Driving in Cameroon can be hazardous due to poor road conditions, poorly maintained vehicles, local driving practices and inadequate lighting. Poor road conditions make it difficult to depart Cameroon via the land border with Gabon. For further advice on road safety, see our road travel page.
Visitors to the Lake Chad area should report to local authorities on arrival. The local authorities advise visitors to engage a reliable guide due to the dangerous security situation.
Airline safety
Please refer to our air travel page for information about aviation safety and security.
When you are in Cameroon, be aware that local laws and penalties, including ones that appear harsh by Australian standards, do apply to you. If you are arrested or jailed, the Australian Government will do what it can to help you but we can't get you out of trouble or out of jail.
Information on what Australian consular officers can and cannot do to help Australians in trouble overseas is available from the Consular Services Charter.
Penalties for possession, use or trafficking of illegal drugs may include heavy fines and lengthy imprisonment.
Travellers should carry identification (residence permit or certified copy of your passport) at all times. Failure to produce identification when requested may result in being detained by the police.
Penalties for serious crimes, such as homicide, include the death penalty.
Homosexual acts are illegal and penalties include prison sentences from six months to five years, and a fine ranging from 20,000 to 200,000 CFA francs. See our LGBTI travellers page.
Photography of and around military zones, military assets and/or military personnel, government buildings, airports and ports is illegal.
Some Australian criminal laws, such as those relating to money laundering, bribery of foreign public officials, terrorism, forced marriage, female genital mutilation, child pornography, and child sex tourism, apply to Australian overseas. Australians who commit these offences while overseas may be prosecuted in Australia.
Australian authorities are committed to combating sexual exploitation of children by Australians overseas. Australians may be prosecuted at home under Australian child sex tourism and child pornography laws. These laws provide severe penalties of up to 25 years imprisonment for Australians who engage in child sexual exploitation while outside of Australia.
Local customs
There are conservative standards of dress and behaviour in Cameroon and you should take care not to offend.
Information for dual nationals
Cameroon does not recognise dual nationality. This may limit our ability to provide consular assistance to Australian/Cameroonian dual nationals who are arrested or detained. We recommend you travel on your Australian passport at all times.
Our Dual nationals page provides further information for dual nationals.
We strongly recommend that you take out comprehensive travel insurance that will cover any overseas medical costs, including medical evacuation, before you depart. Confirm that your insurance covers you for the whole time you'll be away and check what circumstances and activities are not included in your policy. Remember, regardless of how healthy and fit you are, if you can't afford travel insurance, you can't afford to travel. The Australian Government will not pay for a traveller's medical expenses overseas or medical evacuation costs.
It is important to consider your physical and mental health before travelling overseas. We encourage you to consider having vaccinations before you travel. At least eight weeks before you depart, make an appointment with your doctor or travel clinic for a basic health check-up, and to discuss your travel plans and any implications for your health, particularly if you have an existing medical condition. The World Health Organization (WHO) provides information for travellers and our health page also provides useful information for travellers on staying healthy.
Medical facilities in urban centres in Cameroon are limited and are extremely limited in rural areas. Pharmaceuticals are in short supply and poor quality substitutes are often used. Up-front payment for medical services is usually required and the inability to pay will often delay treatment. In the event of a serious accident or illness, medical evacuation to London, Paris or Johannesburg would be recommended. Costs for a medical evacuation can range from $A25,000 to $A200,000 depending on the circumstances.
Malaria occurs widely and throughout the year in Cameroon. Other insect-borne diseases (including filariasis and African sleeping sickness) also occur. We encourage you to consider taking prophylaxis against malaria and to take measures to avoid insect bites, including using insect repellent at all times wearing long, loose-fitting, light-coloured clothing and ensuring your accommodation is mosquito proof.
Cameroon is listed by the World Health Organization (WHO) as endemic for yellow fever. Yellow fever is a potentially fatal viral disease transmitted by mosquitoes, which is preventable by vaccination. We strongly recommend that you are vaccinated against yellow fever before travelling to Cameroon. See the Entry and Exit section for important information about vaccination certificate requirements. For more information about yellow fever, see the Department of Health website.
Water-borne, food-borne, parasitic and other infectious diseases (including HIV/AIDS, cholera, meningitis, hepatitis, tuberculosis, loiasis and river blindness) are prevalent with more serious outbreaks occurring from time to time. We advise you to boil all drinking water or drink bottled water, and avoid ice cubes and raw and undercooked food. Do not swim in fresh water to avoid exposure to certain water-borne diseases such as bilharzia (schistosomiasis). Seek medical advice if you have a fever or are suffering from diarrhoea.
Outbreaks of polio have occurred in Cameroon within the last 12 months. All travellers to polio infected countries should ensure they have completed a primary course of polio vaccination and receive a booster dose prior to travel. If you are unsure of your polio vaccination status, check with your doctor or travel clinic at least eight weeks before you depart.
The rate of HIV/AIDS infection in Cameroon is high. You should exercise appropriate precautions if engaging in activities that expose you to risk of infection.
Where to get help
Australia does not have an Embassy or Consulate in Cameroon. By agreement between the Canadian and Australian governments, the local Canadian High Commission in Yaounde provides consular assistance to Australians in Cameroon. This service does include the issue of Provisional Travel Documents. The address is:
Canadian High Commission, Yaounde
Immeuble Stamatiades
Place de l'Hotel de Ville
Yaounde, Cameroon
Telephone: (237) 2223 2311
Facsimile: (237) 2222 1090
Email: firstname.lastname@example.com

If you are travelling to Cameroon, whatever the reason and however long you'll be there, we also encourage you to register with the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade. You can register online or in person at any Australian Embassy, High Commission or Consulate. The information you provide will help us to contact you in an emergency - whether it is a natural disaster, civil disturbance or a family issue.
In a consular emergency if you are unable to contact the Canadian High Commission in Yaounde or the Australian High Commission in Abuja you can contact the 24-hour Consular Emergency Centre on +61 2 6261 3305 or 1300 555 135 within Australia. In Australia, the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade in Canberra may be contacted on (02) 6261 3305.
Additional information
Natural disasters, severe weather and climate
The rainy season is June to September when flooding may occur and some roads become impassable.
Explosions and lava flows have occurred at Mont Cameroon. You should seek advice from local authorities before climbing.
Information on natural disasters can be obtained from the Humanitarian Early Warning Service. If a natural disaster occurs, follow the advice of local authorities.

Amazon Kindle Fire HDX 8.9 is just right [review]
If Goldilocks visited the bears' home and tried tablets instead of porridge and beds, Google Nexus 7 would be too small. Samsung Galaxy Tab Pro 12.1 would be too big. But Amazon Kindle Fire HDX 8.9 would be just right. This tweener tab is optimal size, packs bright breathtaking display, and is easily used for many hours with minimal eye, hand, or arm strain. While screen size and design concepts are little changed from the previous model, the HDX is thinner, lighter, higher-resolution, and well-matched to a bizarre-looking but beneficial case cover.
Kindle Fire HDX 8.9 is a nearly perfect Android tablet -- that is for anyone buying into the Amazon lifestyle. If I were asked to recommend any tab, the HDX would be one, and iPad Air the other. Both share similar usability benefits and tightly-integrated content and commerce stores, supporting services, and appealing apps. In late November, I put both tablets on my list of favorite products for 2013.
Google Trends helps you be relevant and the life of the party with 'Hot Searches'
Have you ever been at a party and felt out of touch? I have. Quite often, the conversation turns to some Internet meme or current event and I just have no idea what people are talking about. It's my own fault, I tend do focus mostly on technology news as world news is rather depressing. Not to mention, it is hard to find time to stay on top of it. Believe it or not, I even ignore weather reports as I prefer to be surprised.
Google apparently feels my pain as it aims to make me relevant and sociable again with an updated Google Trends. Yes, the search-giant has created a way to get hot trends delivered right to your inbox.

Amazon Fire TV ups the voice search ante, adds Hulu Plus and more
Amazon's Fire TV, a previously much-rumored device, is now officially on the market, with reviews cropping up around the web -- our own will be coming shortly. One known issue that seems to pop up is that the voice search only encompasses Amazon. But that landscape is already beginning to change.
Today, the retailer announces new partners in this endeavor. Hulu Plus, Crackle and Showtime, which were already present on the tiny set-top box, will now be included in search, starting this summer (a rather vague time frame).
Peanuts, Cracker Jack and Chromecast -- MLB.TV comes to Google's dongle
Take me out to the ball game. Take me out with the crowd. Take me to Best Buy to buy a $35 Chromecast. When Google's dongle was announced, I don't think anyone truly knew how popular it would be.
At first, it seemed like a cool little accessory for watching YouTube or Netflix videos on your TV. Really, that's all that it was. That is, until Google opened up the SDK. Now, the floodgates are open and the sky is the limit. Today, Chromecast scores its biggest win yet, with live casting from MLB.TV.
Acer C720P Chromebook puts brawn before beauty [review]
I struggle to aptly describe my feelings about Acer's affordable touchscreen Chromebook. The C720P is the lover you keep in the dark, for the benefits, but which you wouldn't be seen with in the daylight. Performance and battery life are wow-worthy. But the plastic exterior looks and feels cheap, and the touchscreen is too dim -- well, for my tastes.
More than two months now using the C720P, I like the computer least of all the Chromebooks to pass my way. I really want to love the laptop, and maybe you will. Perhaps experience using other Chromebooks soils my perception, and I am too quick to compare. That's why I sought, and got, reaction from C720P owners, many of which are more forgiving about appearances for performance benefits. Their responses are essential to this review.
Pinnacle Studio 5 launches on iPhone, updated for iPad
Corel subsidiary Pinnacle System has launched Pinnacle Studio for iPhone 5.0 alongside an updated Pinnacle Studio for iPad 5.0, which has been rebuilt with an iOS 7-themed interface and 64-bit support.
Pinnacle Studio for iPhone contains an identical feature-set to its bigger iPad brethren, explaining why its first release is version 5. Features include support for mixing video, audio and photos with Storyboard and Timeline editing features plus a wide range of tracks, effects and titles, plus 1080p HD video quality.
Rain Alarm: a handy weather alert app that works almost anywhere
As you might guess from its name, Rain Alarm is a smart app which can warn you about imminent snow or rain. That doesn't sound too special -- there are a host of tools promising to do the same thing -- but this one has what it takes to stand out from the crowd.
It's about as cross-platform as you can get, for example: there are apps for Android, iOS, Windows Phone and Windows 8; add-ons for Firefox and Chrome, or you can just visit the Rain Alarm website from almost anything with a browser.
Amazon and Samsung launch custom Kindle for Samsung service
Not content with already having a Kindle app for Android devices, Amazon has joined forces with Samsung to launch Kindle for Samsung. The slightly unnecessary venture brings a new custom ebook service to owners of devices from the South Korean firm and launches on the Galaxy S5 immediately. Other Samsung Galaxy handsets and tablets will gain access to the app shortly afterwards, providing they are running Android 4.0 or newer. Of the millions of books and magazines that will be available through the service, more than 500,000 of the titles will be exclusives.
At the same time as the Kindle for Samsung launch, the two companies are also launching Samsung Book Deals. This enables Galaxy owners to obtain up to 12 free ebooks per year, making a selection from a choice of four each month. With the promise that "each book is chosen specifically for Galaxy smartphone and tablet users from a wide selection of prominent titles", there should be something for everyone.
Ubuntu 14.04 LTS is here -- Linux fans, download it now!
Ubuntu is arguably the best Linux-based operating system for home users. Sure, some people may prefer Fedora, Arch, or SUSE, but none of them can match the ease of use of Ubuntu. The wonderful thing is, not only is it a great OS for beginners and home users, but power users too. It can meet the needs of many, and meet those needs well.
The holy grail of Ubuntu releases is the LTS, or Long Term Support. You see, not only is it a modern release, but it will be supported for a mind-boggling 5 years. This makes it ideal for people that favor stability and dependability over bleeding-edge. Today, Canonical releases version 14.04 of Ubuntu, named Trusty Tahr and it is LTS.
Post Heartbleed, Tor could significantly reduce capacity -- but is it enough?
It seems that there have been few big names left unaffected by the Heartbleed bug in OpenSSL. Google may have rushed to patch the flaw, but the number of websites and services that fell foul of the discovery is staggering. It seems that even stalwarts of security are finding themselves in troubled waters, and this includes anonymizing service Tor.
Put very simply (very, very simply!), Tor works by not only encrypting data that is transferred online, but also bouncing it around a number of servers, making it all but impossible to trace to a particular user or computer. It transpires that some of the Tor nodes that are used in the process are running versions of OpenSSL that are vulnerable to Heartbleed, and this has led to calls for the affected nodes to be closed down. Writing to the Tor mailing list, developer Roger Dingledine suggests that up to 12 percent of the network's capacity may be lost if all of the vulnerable nodes are taken offline.

Marion to plead guilty to doping!
This Forum was created to divert traffic from Current Events at the height of the BALCO scandal. It comes and goes as "needed"; it's back to being locked.
i've never been too sure about doping with 100h
after all, back in bad ole days, they probably only took steroids ( nothing else i can think of apart from some gowth hormone which does same job as steroids ) to make them "stronger" & "quicker" on the flat
however, i doubt they coud still break 11s with those, whereas a gail had "natural" 10.7 ability ( "basic" )/was pretty damn strong ( see those legs ) & she coudn't break 12.3 ( ok not the greatest technique, but good enough to have won some globals over the stix )!
i can't see steroids "improving" technique, so i think to run 12.2, they musta had far superior technique than the later athletes & that has to be put down more to superior talent ( technique-wise ) + coaching, than drugs
bottom line : i don't think it's an automatic choice that hat those 12.2 gals were all on drugs
Last edited by Mats Nilsson on Fri Mar 14, 2014 6:05 pm, edited 1 time in total.
Eldy. You consistently baffle me with your comments about drugs. PEDs can significantly improve performance in every single event. Without question. Period. It's a sport that is still riddled with drug takers at the elite level, and, most probably at many levels beneath. It has been for decades and will likely remain so into the near future and beyond. Watch and enjoy knowing that, or give up and watch tiddlywinks. But please stop defending these frigin' cheats.
But on Tuesday we get an editiorial and an editorial cartoon:
http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.c ... DSM76Q.DTL
Tom Meyers of the SF Chronicle 10-9-07
i was being event specific when mentioning drugs with the 100h
even if those 12.2 gals were stuffed to the gills with 'roids, they were probably 0.3s slower over the flat than gail, but managed to be ~ 0.2s faster than her over the stix when she was at her fastest on the flat ( early '90s )
i can only see a vastly superior technique achieving that ( & gail's wasn't bad ) & i'm not aware of any drug back then or know, which improves your technique
i'm just saying the case for drug improvement in this event is not cut-&-dried ( same may apply to 110h, where wr has moved on from 12.92 to 12.88 in nearly 20y & if you adjust for lausanne's 500m+ altitude, there's no improvement at all )
And Jay Leno mentioned Jones last night; said something like she called the USC football team at halftime and offered them her steroids that she no longer needed....
Which is what is so baffling. It's not like all the drug cheats are shared across all the other events, while everyone who competes in the 110H is clean. Engqvist, Damu Cherry, Larry Wade, Tony Dees, Mark McKoy, Svetla Dimitrova, etc - they all produced their best performances while on the juice, so I think that's enough proof.
The sprint hurdles combines both technique and speed. Drugs won't help much with the former, but it can help HEAPS with the latter.
I shall await your customary contrary reply with yawning breath...
Sorry I thought you were just slaagging off Swedes and after GB Sweden are my favourite team so I got a bit offended.
Lauryn Williams has posted some thoughts about Marion Jones in her blog:
I'd love to know what evidence there is that allows you to come to the conclusion that there was one person in that final that was absolutely clean? Impossible to know.
So your evidence would be...
The simple fact is that no-one can ever know who is taking what - because we know that drug tests don't catch anyone. Not even some spouses would know if their husbands/wives are on something, considering the dozens of supplements everyone takes. They could totally be in teh dark.
And I agree with the technique point, too.
But there have been loads of hurdlers throughout the years with awesome technique and no speed - and that only gets you so far. Engqvist needed speed to bring her down to the 12.2 level (she already had the technique) and she could gain that extra edge by taking drugs.
What a great blog! Wish I'd been aware of that sooner, some interesting entries. Thanks!
i'd esimate drug improvement in the event is small
now, with flat-sprinting, virtually all the strength gain from drugs goes into increased speed & for a rough estimate, i'd wager no more than ~0.3s ( i think the max improvement a natural 11.0 gal is likely to get to with them is maybe 10.7 ( & for those who don't believe that marion wasn't at least a natural 11.0 gal, needs their head examining )
now, with hurdles, it's speed + technique
at best, drugs have a small effect on latter,but still all the speed increase
how much improvement to ascribe ?
i'd say 1/2 to 2/3 of that of a flat sprinter's improvement of 0.3s
for donkey with her 12.21, that woud mean something like
12.21 + ( 1/2 of 0.3s to 2/3 of 0.3s ) = ~ 12.36 - 12.41 naturally
for nazy, with her 12.26, = ~ 12.41 - 12.46 naturally
that is immense natural talent & couda won every recent global except '04
jazzy, i think there is little chance of us ever finding out :
- if they admit they only got the confession thru exerting pressure of the lock-tight check-fraud charge, the confession has little validity ( marion woud probably have given them the colonel's recipe for his fry-mix if it woud save her 4y+ in jail ) & they look mugs
- if marion comes out on oprah or in her book, & says she said whatever the feds wanted her to say ( in view of above ) & that the confession was bogus & she never took drugs, then she is saying the admission to balco perjury was a lie & therefore a further perjury , that woud mean more jail time
logically, i just can't see us ever getting disclosures
As I've posted earlier (you can search for it in the archives), I've looked at historic performances statistically in several ways, and you can see (1) that periodic improvement "bursts" have been the norm in the sport for decades, even before PEDs were common or even known and (2) that the increased drug testing vigilance appears to have had a significant impact as measured through performance decreases in notable events in the late 80's and early '90s.
Obviously, the sport is not clean. But on the other hand, it is probably cleaner than it was 20 years ago based on the evidence we have from indirect evidence.
That is TFHilarious, thank you Hamster!!
I am so glad they opened the hollow deck agin, as I can post a bit and not feel like I have blown my sobriety.
you can have all the inside information you want - unless you are with someone 24 hours a day you can never tell if they are 100% clean.
What makes you think Da Silva and Smith were clean? Because they said so...???? because they are good guys? becuase they were consistent???? That is not enough evidence..

you know well enough that appearance is no basis of deciding drug-use : the ddr women sprinters weren't big - the philosophy behind their regime was to strengthen up with drugs, but not add bulk up
a "tiny" athlete coud be just applying same principles - get 10 - 20% stronger with drugs, but restrict protein intake to keep weight constant
Couldn't have said it better myself. Thanks eldrick.
i said nothing about steroids not working, but them having different efficacy :
a) stanzolol/turinabol/etc - dynamite anabolic effect ( i'm sure you'll get your 20% strength improvement there with no added bulk ) - full agonists
b) THG - moderate anabolic effect ( iirc, gestrinone is a partial agonist & hydrogenating it was to make it undetectable - it won't make it a full agonist ( the hydrogenation occurs at the other end of the molecule from the "anabolic receptor insertion" part ) ) - no matter what dose you take of a partial agonist, you won't get the anabolic effect of a decent dose of the above
c) growth hormone is not an anabolic steroid - it's not a steroid, but an anabolic polypeptide with no steroid structure - it has anabolic effects, but not anywhere as effective as a) ( imo )
anecdotally from reading on the web, i'd rate their anabolic effect of a) far greater than the other 2 ( which of the other 2 has better anabolic effects, i have no idea - little data to go on )
as for your protein-restriction, i assume you mean it has to be restricted in chronic renal failure in order to reduce urea production

Considering the expense of building a guard assembly with pups and switches, this is a great deal financially. It improved my junker by around 80%. I added 3- 4955 Knob position indicators to make it look really sharp. I had to drill couple extra holes in the guitar body. No big deal. Truly have to concentrate to hear any difference in the Bridge Tone from 0-10. Neck tone difference from 0-10 can be heard. You can always change pots or wiring, but for the cost, it's still a good deal.
i was piecing a strat together and i looked at your pre assembled p/u's. i decided to give it a try....i am very impressed with the sound once i plugged my strat into my practice amp. i can imagine what it would sound like on my concert amp. i even had another guitarist play it and he was impressed with the sound of the p/u's....the quality of the pre assembled pickguard is excellent...i will be ordering more later on down the line....
Much better sound than I thought I would get for this price. I purchased three of them and they all sound great.
one word.....perfect
I got the black pickguard with 3 pickups and 5 way switch, and it works BEAUTIFUL!
for this price, can't said to bad thinks... Just that pickgard is far from finish of originals, and than screw hole where not alls align to guitar's body holes... for the electronic stuff, nothing wrong ! So if you buy it for a fine strat, take an aditional pickgard to replace this one ;-)
Put this in a Squier strat. the holes lined up,but I had to sand the neck and trem cuts in order to make it fit. The pickups sound great, and the electronics were solid. I wish an output jack was supplied- I expected one would be included then had to scrounge around for one.
I didn't believe the sound this pickups deliver based on the price. Even with all the good reviews.
This is an excellent product and my client is very satisfied and happy with it (he's a pro)
I purchased the pre-wired pickguard to save me time, (and money) for the re-build I'm doing for my old strat. I could not be happier, goods came in about a week, now its loaded, and looks great. I will definitely be coming back to Stew-Mac for any other projects I've got.
I had reservations about buying this, but not now. This not only looks good, but sounds excellent,requiring zero adjustment,it went straight in. I'm really impressed.

Great Idea

It's an excellent idea and really works well. The smart clip feature and the magnetic attraction of the stand to the iPad is fantastic. I have had it come loose a few times, but you get to used to how to open it without that happening. Another drawback, and I've noticed this and all Bluetooth keyboards (except the Apple one) is that occassionally, it types two letters instead of one. If it wasn't for that, I'd have given this five stars. The price is a bit high, but its about what the previous models from Zagg and Logitech have been. …

I was nervous about a few of the others, because they did not have a magnetized section to hold in the iPad. This one exceeds all of my expectations. It is super slim, and holds the iPad in place while on my lap. The setup was extremely easy, and the bluetooth works great. I have had this keyboard for over two months now, and it still has the same charge as when I first got it.
The only thing I would say may be bad, is that you can't have a hard case on the back of the iPad. The keyboard doesn't have as strong as a hold while it is in the magnetized cradle, and I got nervous it would fall out. …

After doing some reaserch i discovered that this problem is normal with all wireless keyboards and Apple iPads or any tablet. Being use to this feature it was at first bothersome but getting use to the fact that I now have to use the shift key and really getting use to spelling words correctly, that is, watch what letters im typing. Other than this small problem I am overall very happy. The keyboard has many great functions!! And love how I can fold it down to make the iPad look like a laptop.
